We all know close-minded folks With blinds pulled over their eyes Disguised, sheeps clothes Lion with no pride So prideful nonetheless Spiteful, deceitful Regrettably, it just might be Present climate season We imply perceived niceties To keep our needs within reach Means to an end To pretend and receive ends Get ahead, who can condemn In a culture of bad news Catch-22's Relaxed and cool is a fools attribute Rather act like brutes Talking trash In fastfood drive-throughs To every last bastard that moves Attitudes are flat opposed To the status quo Even though that unique view Is matched by most Wearing these castes of alloy To mask and cope as outcasts Coat of arms attached To defend against attacks Though offense is relative Insults theoretical Reactions from backtalk Adjunct for each individual Ambiguous Fighting against what doesn't exist And when it does exist, we miss it Because we're too busy in conflict.

Certainty Ambiguity
We chase certainty Perceive the unknown as alien Instead of handing over control We proceed to mail it in Leave it in the junk bin To prevent latent grief And other brief tensions Encumbrances we meet Should puncture some vents In our bubble, let the air in it Better yet Venturing outside our airless aquarium Our built nest, platos cave Once we're unchained Our behavior then becomes strange To the layman that remain So instead we don't escape And don't let anyone else enter in To shelter our sheltered view True maldevelopment Collective madness Attributes of absolutes Prevent contamination With a polluted vacuum Which is counterintuitive Counteractive to congruity We all pursue to be set free With ambiguity Thinking we can control All variables is hysterical We may not know whats good for us Go with the breeze as it flows.
Self-Righteous Blindfold
I'm sick of advice Especially when the giver is mine own Like I have the right Self righteously blindfold Myself with selfish pride Against what I find identifies As a minor slight An offense exemplified Misanalysed regrettably I recognize, apologize Try to resolve my hollow spite An amoral bind I'm misunderstood Or maybe I misunderstand When I put my foot in my mouth Instead of lend one a hand Decide others woulds and shoulds Without being put Afoot in their reality All my putdowns are true fallacies The nerve or grounds, to serve around My personal concerns Is so impersonal Shows no backbone or vertebra That happens when this cloud Of outcast self-doubt Powerlessness Is the foundation throughout Structure becomes a house of cards Shaking, swaying just waiting That it is in fact safe With shameless validating My unstable ways I didn't build them solitarily But socially, culturally Environmentally ill-conceived But mindfully through readjustment With beams and sheetrock Maybe I'll remain upright With others to lean on.
Wear Your Wounds
Living frantically Trying to manage my manic need To keep up fantasies American dream vanity I keep what can't be seen My damaged seams If I don't show that skin It may vanish like tannery But blending in instead leads To panicking To every candid happenstance Against my planned conceit In reality Living concealed is insanity Being human comes with wounds Accrued from the usual calamity No ones immune don't refute it It's mutually earned Yourself and others Hard truths are duly discovered Bruised and battered You move forward To get through the dust storm to cover Until other tribulations emerge Learn to fail or fail to learn Wear scars like brail to interpret Your hurts Each one reads that courage occurred.
Go Far
Forgive yourself For you live with yourself Dismiss past tenseness And live for the now You have a perfectly Permissive disposition Exquisite distinction Individuality to fulfill in an instant Start to tell your heroes tale With your past avails to Passages to brave passed Himalayas to scale Castaway at seas to sail Gail force breeze wails Unyielding terrain Unequal travail Blazing desert plains Hypothermic glacial nights Accolades amass at you lap With each flag, each sight You keep riding Knightly dragons slain Castles made and break the same As you blaze with no blazon displayed Anomalous you remain Stardust rebond You belong across the sky You've already come so far.
Steadfast And Yet Relaxed
We don't know our own strength The toll we take From toes, legs, torso Abdo, throat, face The whole framework overstrained Over-paced behavior Whole array misshapen Til it erodes away Slowly frayed, flayed daily From greed and shame We retain Each bait we proceed to take Facebook, tweets, dm's Social media snakes Can leave a cheap Fleeting remark a screen away Harming the cohesion Our weave like yarn texture Our coat of arms tears apart Like polyester Mustn't fester Over the sorry folly of others The effort to judge Is much easier than to serve So rest assured And set forth the steps towards Your bettering incrementally Beckon those against that course.
Our Home
Why do we force the course, Of source, performing "reformance", Against the forms of nature, Natural organisms, Transforming terraform, Our born worldly existence, Insistent on controlling it, As if it's opposition, Consistent resistance is causing us, Chronic sickness, Dismissing authentic growth, Oblivious to it's ripple effects, It'll be a bitter pill instilled, When it comes time for swallowing, Our life energy starved, From gobbling up with gluttony, We'll swallow it like arsenic, Poison, toxic biotics, What it causes, Honestly we're probably already absorbing, Absolving all of us, We got the disease of disregard, The earth wants us, To be a part of it in all of it's art, Heartily we must accept, Our connection, Acknowledging our extension, And pledge to better our collective residence.
Tilting At Windmills
We're still tilting at windmills For the thrills it rekindles Acting from will, attacking at will The hilt reveals the willful Without it victimhood Fear materializes This fear of deprivement This us or them mindset If not triumphant I'm nothing I can't live without the gumption The harvest is my bounty Without I become stunted A runt scrounging While they exceed and outreach Without me, I must release cowardice Unsheath and joust steel Mount my steed for honor, Democracy and valor Against hyprocrisy, can't you see Pronounce, avow you serfs Usurpers, I'm the rightful colonel Your service falls in accordance Divide and conquer over the course Of history I'll be rejoiced in With boisterous applause Marble carvings hoisted along The roads I've tarred Paved with blood sweat and heart When it's all said and done And I've become omnipotent Above all else At all others hinderance It may finally dawn on me My own inferiority complex Lead to encompassing conflict And I'm left still uncontent All I had to do was self-accept.
No Pretensions
Got to negate the case To chase what I'm capable of Whats attainable Straining worst case scenario Hysteria Best case expectations Is just a waste as well Imagination does not straight foretell I'll navigate the netscape Gladly stake henceforth Furthermore with contentment More important than moving towards Success or prevention No pretending, no exceptions No head held intention Of excellence or less then Just moving in the direction Of reverence and ethics Lament pretensions Need no end to begin.
You’re The Balance
Nothing is forever Impermanence is the only Certainly doesn't serve to be Immersed gripped in holding It isn't worth it There was never a time it was perfect There surely won't be Let your imperfections surface You're doing nothing wrong You haven't lost some charm Some spotless quality To be everything to everybody As you shouldn't be You are who you are Flaunt it unguarded In stark self homage It connects us all Whether we're aware of it or not Subconscious, unconcious Authentic embodiment bonds us We all long to shout it So don't doubt it or shroud it Be proud with the gifts You have to give boundless It balances our assorted Absorption distortion Against majority proportion Enforcement What lay dormant before You were contorted With what others told you Deemed more important Your core knows for sure That tingle in your pours When you adoringly feel Love for self be restored
